Despite the DLC's popularity.. Kudos to Harold Ford, Jr. on his new job as Chairman!

I mean.. seriously, it's good to see HF, Jr. score a new job!

Does he replace Al From? (I'm not sure who he replaced)

1. "Join the DLC, and you can be a loser like me!"

2. Vilsack.

He replaces Vilsack as the Chair of the DLC.

6. Oh.. thanks Seth!

I don't know much about the DLC.. but it's good to see Harold get a leadership job (until he can get back into politics again) ~

8. Yeah...

I stay out of the DLC conversations for a reason, namely that I don't enjoy personal attacks!

I knew because Vilsack was my governor, and stepped down to run for President.

3. Good stuff. Hopefully he'll still consider taking a swipe at Alexander in 08 (nt)

4. And Lincoln Chafee (R-RI) also gets a new job.....

He's now "Professor Chafee" ~~

Chafee goes from Sen. to Prof.

This month’s Brown Alumni Magazine has a cover boy well-known in D.C. circles. Under the headline, “Why is this man smiling?” is a content-looking former Sen. Lincoln Chafee (R-R.I.). In the profile, Chafee comes off as a pretty happy loser.

Chafee has found a landing pad that seems to suit him, after losing in November to Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse, as a visiting fellow at Brown’s Watson Institute for International Studies. There, he’ll be leading a group of undergraduate students on a topic near and dear to his heart: avoiding violent international conflict.

Chafee, who was never quite comfortable — or particularly welcomed — as part of the GOP establishment, was a critic of the war in Iraq. But he just might be calling on some of his Washington friends — part of his mission, he tells the Brown student paper, is bringing in real-world policy experts to talk to students.

5. Good for him, I suppose.

But I would have much rather seen him in the Senate.

7. Well Lamar Alexander is up for reelection in 2008 so there;s still hope (nt)
